That vid is super sweet. Now that your basically done with the install, can we get a list of everything that was done with this swap? What's factory, what's aftermarket?
Thanks,
Nathan

Now that the Swap is complete and frying 24"s. I want to know what is next?

No issues with the trans yet, knock on wood. I'm still running the stock 3.73 LSD and probably will until that craps out. If that goes, I'll just probably pick up a stronger aftermarket unit and drop down to a set of 4.10s while I'm at it.
Still gotta pick up a stronger trans or rebuild this one to hold up. Aside from that, I have some plans for the interior and cleaning up the outside some more, like shaving the tailgate. I'm also thinking about changing the wheels and bagging it later down the road.Now that the Swap is complete and frying 24"s. I want to know what is next?

Stock '05 6.0 LQ9 longblock.
Lingenfelter GT2-3 cam and Comp Cams LS6 springs.
NGK TR6 plugs.
Stock flexplate, starter, pcm (BB tuned), harness, water pump, and all accessory brackets/accessories from old 5.3.
Pinned crank pulley.
New stock motor mounts.
Exhaust isn't finished, but will be completely aftermarket. Right now, it's true duals, running off the stock 6.0 manifolds straight into a couple 2-chamber Flowmasters and rear O2 delete. Once all my parts come in, it will be LT headers running into a custom true dual 2.5" setup with x-pipe and the two mufflers. Hopefully I'll have all this finished next week.
That's pretty much it, other than the SC with a smaller pulley.
Thanks!!!
The reason I asked is because I was looking to go ahead and get my cam and springs. Already ordered my electric fans, and next will come my tune, and then saving for my SC

That's funny. I saw your 'hoe out there too and thought, damn, I've seen that somewhere before. I left before you did I think.
